UK Set To Ease COVID-19 Lockdown Today

Ministers are set to reveal the easing of Britain’s lockdown today if the five tests are finally met.

Boris Johnson and his top team will get expert advice from the Government’s scientists today to check if it’s safe to start easing the measures.

And at tonight’s 5 pm press conference it’s expected to be confirmed that schools will open from June 1, along with outdoor markets and car showrooms.

The PM wants to slowly get Britain back to normal over the next two months – but as long as everyone can still remain a safe distance apart.

Today is the date of the three-week review period, where ministers have to by law look again at the coronavirus laws.

Matt Hancock said today on the idea that people may be able to meet up with family soon: “I hope we will be able to make some further progress but I don’t want to prejudge the formal decision we are taking late today on that.

“Today I have to formally review the rules on lockdown, you will be hearing later about that.”

Earlier this week the Health Secretary suggested that four out of five lockdown tests had been met, thanks to a huge PPE deal.

The Health Secretary said that “significant progress” has been made on securing enough vital equipment to help keep Brits protected on the front line in hospitals and care homes.
